What happens if one of the heirs is a minor?

If one of the heirs is a minor, their share is not transferred or managed as if it were an adult's.

Key points

• Guardianship rules apply, and legal representation or authorization may be required for certain transactions, depending on the circumstances.

• Inform the bank of the minor's existence from the outset and submit the necessary guardianship or custody documents.

• Do not attempt to expedite the process with a verbal agreement among the heirs, as this does not negate the minor's rights.
